At this moment, several customers gathered in the restaurant, holding mobile phones and talking about it.

"Hey, Lao Wang, have you seen this news, 'Steve's Appointment' is going to hold the third luncheon in Shanghai, I'm really curious who this third guest will be?"

"Hey, who else can there be, the four major families of the Celestial Empire, this time it must be the Sima family!"

"Steve's Covenant?" Li Rui keenly captured this information, "Yes, I can use the influence of 'Steve's Covenant' to help Xiao Xiao win the order smoothly, so that I don't need to come forward in person." ”

In the name of going to the toilet, Li Rui called Fang Youmei and asked her to find a way to get Steve to change his itinerary and go to the imperial capital to hold a "Steve's Appointment", and get the admission ticket to the banquet.

This "Steve's Appointment" is claimed to be the most expensive lunch in the world. The protagonist of this banquet is Dwight Steve, known as the world's best investor, the founder of the "Black Fox Fund", known as the "God of Investment", the top three in the world, now 80 years old, but his thinking is still extremely fast, and the original purpose of his "Steve's Appointment" is to find outstanding talents around the world and become his successor.

Since 10 years ago, Steve has been on the "Steve's Appointment" and has traveled to five continents. However, his lunch was not free, and the admission ticket alone was enough to scare off a large number of eager enthusiasts. In the past ten years, the ticket price of "Steve's Appointment" has risen from 250,000 yuan at the beginning to 35 million now.

Despite this, this ticket is still hard to find, and if you want to buy a ticket, you even need to auction it, so this ticket has the "golden ticket", not only because it is made of pure gold, but more importantly, because of its unparalleled commercial value. After all, there are too many people in this world who want to meet Steve, the "God of Investment", have a meal, and sit down for a few words. In particular, Steve has no restrictions on what he can talk about at lunch, and he promises to know everything and say everything, and if you dare to ask, he will dare to answer. But there is only one condition: they will not disclose their next investment choices.

Among the bidders over the years, there is another entrepreneur who has won the bid for two consecutive years, and he is the wealthy North American tycoon Tyson Wald. During his second lunch with Steve, he received an invitation from Steve to work on Plum Island, where the Black Fox Fund is located. It is a private island in the South Pacific Ocean, home to some of the world's top elites, and it is said that people who have been there have a lot of money to go there, and to be able to work there means that there will inevitably be a presence among the people who will control the world economy in the future.

Currently, Wald manages investments in more than $900 trillion in assets under the Black Fox Fund, and he is considered one of the favourites to succeed Steve.

The pinnacle of life is accidentally created by a lunch.

Although the imperial capital is the capital of the Celestial Empire, its status is only reflected in politics, and in terms of economic strength, the imperial capital cannot be compared with the "central capital" Shanghai.

The Celestial Empire set up "five capitals", "Kyushu" and "thirty-six counties", of which the "five capitals" are: the imperial capital Longcheng, the upper capital Fengjun, the central capital of Shanghai, the lower capital of Yuezhong, and the Lindu Wu County. "Kyushu" is the highest local administrative region of the Celestial Empire, which governs "36 counties (cities and cities)", namely: Zhongzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Yunzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou, Haizhou, Yongzhou, and Shanzhou. The "five capitals" are independent of the "Kyushu", directly governed by the Celestial Empire, and are the political, economic, and cultural center of the Celestial Empire.

Shangdu Fengjun is the political center of the Celestial Empire second only to the imperial capital, the political, economic and cultural center of the north, and the forward headquarters of the Celestial Empire to resist external forces in the north. The central capital of Shanghai sits on the rich land in the southeast and is the most prosperous place in the Celestial Empire. Yuezhong, the lower capital, is a cultural center with a long history and picturesque scenery. Lindu Wu County was the temporary capital of the Celestial Empire during the war, and its strength was inferior to the other four capitals in all aspects.

In the "Kyushu", Zhongzhou governs Shangjun, Jiangmen City, Gyeonggi City, and Yunseong; Youzhou governs North County, Bingcheng, Snow City, and Lingxiao City; Liangzhou governs Xijun, Machinery City, Gongqingcheng and Longshi; Yunzhou governs Junwang City, Yulan City, Tianxuan Domain, and Laifeng City; Qingzhou governs Ziyun City, Lane City, Fenglin City, and Lai City; Yizhou governs the cities of Saor, Villa, Jicheng, and Pingcheng; Haizhou governs Dongjun, Shancheng, Yongcheng and Tongxin City; Yongzhou coordinates Yonghe City, Zhouning City, Xiangcheng and Kecheng; Nanzhou governs Nanjun, Minnan City, Wandao City, and Golden City.

Li Rui knew that it was too unrealistic to invite Steve to Jiangmen City, and the only suitable one could only be the imperial capital. Jiangmen is adjacent to the imperial capital, and the traffic is also very convenient.

Thirty minutes later, Fang Youyou sent a text message: Everything is ready, Steve promised to go to the imperial capital, just to meet you, the new head of the legendary Shengshi Group.

Seeing the text message, Li Rui smiled heartily, and said to Xiao Xiao: "Wife, I already have a way to help you get the order!" ”

Xiao Xiao glanced at Li Rui and asked, "What can you do?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment."

Xiao Xiao looked at Li Rui suspiciously, and after only ten minutes, he heard a burst of exclamations from outside the restaurant.

Xiao Xiao turned his head to look out the window, only to see a helicopter slowly descending from the sky and stopping steadily outside the restaurant.

A foreigner in a suit and sunglasses jumped out of the plane and walked straight to the restaurant.

In everyone's strange eyes, he walked up to Li Rui and asked, "Are you Mr. Li Rui?" ”

Li Rui nodded.

"Congratulations, you have successfully drawn a special ticket for 'Steve's Covenant' to enter the imperial capital, and tomorrow at noon, in the Golden Hall of the Imperial Hotel, a luncheon will be held that is enough to go down in the history of the imperial capital."

"Huh? Oh my God, this poor sour man actually drew a ticket to Steve's Covenant? ”

"yes, it's shit luck!"

Everyone fried the pot and looked at Li Rui in disbelief.

"Thank you!" Li Rui took the ticket, and everything was planned.

"What?" Xiao Xiao looked at Li Rui with an incredulous expression, and took the ticket suspiciously.

"That's the way you said?"

"Yes!" Li Rui nodded.

This is a "golden ticket" made of pure gold, made from a gold brick hammered into a paper-thin "gold paper", which is inlaid with countless tiny diamonds, not so much a ticket as an extravagant work of art.

I saw that this golden ticket read: "Steve's Covenant" Imperial Capital Special, October 22 at 11:30, Imperial Hotel Golden Hall. Please bring this ticket to the venue, it will be invalid after 30 minutes.

Xiao Xiao couldn't believe that this was a ticket to the real "Steve's Appointment".

This is the first time that "Steve's Covenant" has entered the imperial capital, before that, "Steve's Covenant" has only been held twice in the Celestial Empire, the first is held in Shanghai, the head of the four major families of the Celestial Empire, Wang Yijia, the head of the Wang family, took the "golden ticket" with 32 million, becoming the first Celestial Empire entrepreneur to have lunch with Steve.

The second guest to become the "Steve's Appointment" was Li Tianxiong, and the price of this banquet was the highest price ever - 35 million.

And this "Steve's appointment" came to the imperial capital for the first time, which happened to happen within 24 hours of the change of ownership of the Shengshi Group, which sent a strong signal - Steve may have come for the legendary new chairman of the Shengshi Group.

If this weren't the case, there would be a lot of wealthy families in Shanghai, and Steve would at least hold a few luncheons there, and he wouldn't suddenly kill the imperial capital, after all, the only family that could really put on the stage in the imperial capital was the Situ family.

In order to invite Steve, Li Rui was not only willing to pay 40 million for the entrance fee, but all the costs of this luncheon were paid by Shengshi Group, and Steve did not need to pay a penny.

However, it was not because of Li Rui's price that attracted Steve to accept the invitation, after all, this money was just a string of inconspicuous numbers to him. What Steve values is Li Rui, and he wants to see who this mysterious person is?

What's more, with Steve's countless people and the scheming city, he has secretly sensed that Li Rui wants to lead him into a well-arranged game, what kind of person dares to have such a big courage to treat himself as a pawn? The desire to win, which had been extinguished in his heart for many years, was ignited again, and in an instant, he seemed to smell the breath he had been waiting for for many years—the breath of the strong.

"This ......" Xiao Xiao couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.

"Xiao Xiao, this is God helping us." Li Rui saw that Xiao Xiao had already been put on the set, so he continued to pout, "Tomorrow morning, you will go to Shengshi Group with the plan, and I will accompany you." I don't believe that with this ticket in our hands, Shengshi Group will refuse to cooperate with us? ”

Yes, the commercial value contained in this golden ticket cannot be considered by money, and the guests of every "Steve's Appointment" have long been world-renowned business giants, and after every luncheon, they have miraculously ushered in a career development climax, which is the "power" that every company dreams of.

"Is it really pie in the sky?" Xiao Xiao muttered to himself, "Maybe God took pity on me and gave me such a precious opportunity, I can't live up to God's care, I must win this cooperation!" ”

Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously, she had completely believed in Li Rui, and she also felt that this was an opportunity given to her by God, and she wanted to use this "golden ticket" to pry the revival of the family and revive its glory.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xiao brought the cooperation plan he had prepared overnight and came to Shengshi Group with Li Rui.

Although he regained his confidence last night, looking at the hundred-storey Shengshi Group Building, a sense of nervousness surged into his heart, and Xiao Xiao suddenly had no bottom in his heart.

"Although I have a 'golden ticket', will Shengshi Group really believe my words? If they don't believe it's true, how can I explain it? ”

Li Rui saw that she was extremely worried, and arranged her hair with some distress: "Don't worry, you can talk about it, you will definitely succeed." ”

Xiao Xiao said helplessly: "Hope! You are waiting for me here. ”

After speaking, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk into the door of Shengshi Group.

Li Rui watched behind her, took out his mobile phone and called Fang Youmei.

"The director, the people have gone up, you should know how to do the rest!"

Fang Youyou immediately said: "Don't worry, chairman, I know how to do it." ”

......

On the other side, Xiao Xiao walked into the office building of Shengshi Group and waited at the front desk for an appointment.

After a while, a female assistant walked over with a graceful figure and asked politely, "You are Ms. Xiao Xiao, right?" The landlord is waiting for you in the office, please come with me. ”

Xiao Xiao nodded, and said in his heart: "I'm still waiting in line to make an appointment, why did I just call myself in?" Could it be that Fang Youyou knew that she was coming? ”

Although he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Xiao also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he hurriedly followed the other party.

The female assistant directly brought Xiao Xiao into Fang Youmei's office.

Seeing Xiao Xiao, Fang Youyou hurriedly sat up from the chair and greeted respectfully: "Hello, Ms. Xiao, I am Fang Youmei, vice chairman of Shengshi Group. ”

Xiao Xiao was a little nervous in the face of the famous strong woman in the imperial capital, and said respectfully: "Hello, the director, I came to talk to you about the hotel project this time!" ”

As she spoke, she nervously handed over a document and said, "Housing director, this is the relevant introduction and qualification documents of our Aoshi Group, please take a look." ”

Fang Youmei smiled, took the document and looked at it a few times, and then said directly: "Ms. Xiao, I have read your information, and I think the Xiao family and our Shengshi Group can cooperate." ”

"What? What you say is true? Xiao Xiao couldn't believe it, and muttered in his heart, "Agreed so quickly?" How can it be so simple? ”

Fang Youyou said with a smile: "Of course it is true, although the conditions of the Xiao family themselves do not meet the cooperation standards of Shengshi Group, our chairman is very optimistic about Ms. Xiao and is willing to cooperate with you." ”

"Chairman?" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise and asked, "May I ask who your chairman is?" ”

Fang Youyou smiled indifferently and said, "Our chairman is Li Gongzi of the Li family in Shanghai. ”

"Li Gongzi?"

Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "I don't seem to know this Li Gongzi." ”

Fang Youyou nodded lightly, Li Rui had instructed her not to reveal her identity information, so she could only reveal so much.

Xiao Xiao really didn't know anyone with the surname Li except Li Rui, but she never thought that her husband, who was born an orphan and was good-for-nothing, was the son of Li in the other party's mouth.

At this time, Fang Youyou said again: "Ms. Xiao, I will see that the share of intention to cooperate in your information is one billion?" ”

Xiao Xiao nodded hurriedly, and asked a little bottomlessly, "Is it too much?" ”

Fang Youyou smiled and said, "Not much, not much, but less." ”

Xiao Xiao was even more stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Fang Youyou said with a smile: "Our chairman has explained that I will increase the share of cooperation to 2 billion." ”

While speaking, Fang Youyou took out a contract, handed it to Xiao Xiao and said: "You see, the contracts have been drawn up in advance, a total of two billion, if you think it's okay, we can sign it now." ”

"Huh? This ......"

Xiao Xiao was really dumbfounded.

She never thought that the Shengshi Group, which the Xiao family couldn't catch up, would take the initiative to prepare a contract for herself.

Moreover, the contract amount is still doubled.

The contract really said two billion.
